Atrocious conditions--course 99% deep mud. Neilus 4th O/60 Edwin 1st home for Midleton AC . Then Neilus, Dereck and Edmond. Midleton AC 16th team (in Ireland) two places ahead of East Cork AC This was worse than the Tipperary gig we ran two years ago. EdmondWell done guys ye did us proud as always Danny

Jannsen 6kmWe had a fine crew out here on Sunday morning despite the snow and sleet. Marie Gillman came 2nd O/59 and Joan Mc Carthy came 1st O/60 and Donie O'Connell 3rd O/65. As always it was a very well organised event. Special congrats to Eoin White who did his first 6Km after just joining the C25K group in January. Well done Eoin.Apologies for lack of photo's but the weather was very bad.

Clarenbridge Cross CountryBest of luck to our crew going to Clarenbridge for the All Ireland's on Sunday next. We have four members running Neilus Aherne, Edmond O'Sullivan, Edwin Cashman and Derek Aherne and we wish them all well. Some are relatively new to cross country and others are already champions but no doubt they will all do our club proud. They sad tale is that our cross country pioneer Sally Drennan cannot make it due to injury but no doubt will be back in action soon.BHAA

Formed in 1966 Midleton Athletic Club is one of the few clubs in the Cork area that has both a juvenile section and a senior section as well. This blog will deal with the senior section. The senior section has a wide variety of members ranging from members in mid seventies to just out of juvenile. It is proud to boast that two of our members represented Ireland in the Olympic Games. Whilst most members nowadays seem to favour road running over the complete variety of distances from 3Km to marathon and beyond also X Country and track and field as well. There is an active social side to the club. Anyone wishing to join is welcome to try out for a session before committing to the club. The club trains on Mondays from 6pm in the Midleton College Cricket Field and on Wednesdays @ 7 pm in the Community Centre ( C2 5KM meet @6.30).
